When does this year's time end? I know how many things happened in the past! Last night, the spring breeze blew from the small building again. How can I bear the pain of missing my hometown in this bright night?
Carefully carved railings and jade steps should still be there, but the people I miss are aging. Ask me how much sadness I have in my heart, just like this endless spring water rolling east.
original text
When is the moon in spring and autumn? How much do you know about the past? The small building was easterly again last night, and the old country could not bear to look back on the moon.
Carved fences and jade bricks should still exist, but Zhu Yan changed them. How much sadness can you have? Like a river flowing eastward.
Creation background
This word and "Waves and Sand Rain Outside the Curtain" were written before Li Yu was poisoned, that is, in the third year of peaceful rejuvenation of the country by Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (978), and Li Yu returned to the Song Dynasty for nearly three years. In the eighth year of Song Taizu Kaibao (975), Song Jun attacked Jinling, the capital of Nantang, Li Yufeng surrendered and Nantang perished. Three years later, that is, three years of peaceful rejuvenation, Xu Xuan was ordered by Song Taizong to visit Li Yu, and Li Yu sighed at Xu Xuan: "I regret killing Pan You and Li Ping by mistake!" It is probably in this state of mind that Li Yu wrote this song "Yu Meiren".
